Is this a microbial formation visible to the naked eye? Explain. Leg abscess aspirate swabbed onto a blood agar CO2 35°C plate overnight in an incubator (bacteria is E. coli)

Jack, a new MLT at Cape Fear Hospital was given the following information from a patient's urine sample which had been tested for the presence of S. aureus. The urine contained 6.4 x 107 CFU/ml S. aureus, the plate dilution was 10, and the sample had been taken from the 10-5 dilution tube. Calculate the number of bacterial colonies which must have been counted on the plate and what volume of the sample in µl that was actually plated to give the above results. PS, both of these values can be calculated.

5 years old child came to emergency complaining of headache and fever (39.4°C). On examination, he has Confusion, difficulty in wake, Neck stiffness. sample sent to lab for further investigations. Gram stain show Gram-positive, spherical bacteria, alpha-hemolytic   What is the sample to be collected?

Hello, please answer the following Microbiology question correctly. *If you solve the question CORRECTLY and I will 100% leave a thumbs up for you. Please do not give me an extremely long answer. Just follow the directions as such. Thank you. Question: 11) WHAT Microbiology TEST IS USED TO DETECT CONTAMINATED WATER? What is a positive? Describe the 4.

How can I explain the results of my findings in lamen terms? 1 - Name of Test Type of Medium 2 - Color Before Incubation 3-Color After Incubation? 4 – Results Positive/ Negative? 5 - Reagents Added Lactose Fermentation test Phenol Red Lactose (PRL) Red Color: Yellow   Gas Bubble: Yes Positive Phenol Red to detect color change (added) Glucose Fermentation Test Phenol Red Glucose (PRG) Red Color: Yellow   Gas Bubble: Yes Positive Phenol Red to detect color change (added) Citrate Utilization Simmons Citrate Green Color: Blue Positive Bromthymol Blue (added) Indole Test Media = SIM Clear Indole: Color: Clear Negative For Indole, we add Kovac’s   Hydrogen Sulfide Test Media = SIM clear Hydrogen Sulfide: Color: Clear Negative Iron already added Methyl Red Test (MR test) Media = MRVP Broth Clear Color: Yellow Negative We add Methyl Red Reagent Voges-Proskauer Test (VP test) Media = MRVP Broth Clear…

Please send me the question in 20 minutes it's very urgent plz find

What is similar about this test and the TSIA test?

Microorganism Type of Microorganism Gram Stain Shape Tryptic Soy Agar McConkey Agar Blood Agar EMB Agar Mannitol Salt Agar Bacillus cereus                   Bacillus megaterium                 Bacillus subtilis                   Candida albicans                 Escherichia coli                   Micrococcus luteus                 Neisseria sicca                   Proteus vulgaris                 Pseudomonas aeruginosa                 Serratia marcescens                 Staphylococcus aureus                 Staphylococcus epidermidis

I tested organism growth on the MSA plate for strep. pyongenes, strep. pneumonia, s. aureus, and straph. epidermidis and my results were that streptococci organism did not grow or change color and the s.aureus changed color (yellow) and s.epi there was no change in color but they both showed growth. 1. If an unknown gram-positive bacterium was given, what would it mean if it grew on MSA? Name the organisms used above My answer: that it would be either s.aureus or s. epidermis because they are selective for salt-tolerant bacteria and can grow on mannitol 2. what would it mean if it both grew on MSA and turned yellow? Can you add to my answer or correct it. Thank you!

Out of all these tests, which 2 would help further understand this unknown lab. (Gram Stain and Growth Result is already done) Possible Tests (pick 2 that would help know the unknown bacteria) Gram stain morphology & arrangement color and growth characteristics on agar 37C, 30C and 25C (room temp) CAMP test starch hydrolysis test bacitracin susceptibility test glucose, lactose, sucrose, maltose fermentation tests methyl red/MR test Mannitol MacConkey Phenol Red Vogues-Proskauer/VP test citrate utilization test urea hydrolysis test phenylalanine deaminase test SIM test (Sulfide/Indole/Motility) Nitrate reduction test Oxidase test Catalase test
